Absentee
Reference Form
Thank you for your
request for information from the Thomas Jefferson University Archives
and Special Collections.
The University Archives
strives to provide services of the highest quality for the University
as well as the general public, but its staff resources are limited. Naturally,
our first priority must be to meet the administrative and research needs
of the Jefferson community. Nevertheless we will gladly fulfill absentee
requests from non-university patrons, as time permits and in accordance
with the reference services fee outlined below.
- A non-refundable
deposit of $15.00 is required for the first 30 minutes of research time.
- Research in excess of 30
minutes is charged at a rate of $7.50 per quarter-hour.
- You may
choose to limit research time on the consent form below; if no such
limit is specified, it is understood that you have agreed to pay all
charges accruing from a focused and efficiently conducted reference
search.
- Photocopies, if any, will
be provided for $0.25 per page plus a $2.00 departmental fee. You will
be billed for the balance due when the research is completed.
The general public
is welcome to visit the Archives in person and thus avoid all fees. Public
hours are Monday through Friday from 1:30 until 5:00. If you are unable
to do this and want the Archives staff to proceed with the research, please:
- Print this page
or download the form as a
Word document (28 KB) or
PDF document (95 KB).
- Complete and
sign the agreement below.
- Mail the completed
form, with a check or money order for $15.00 (made payable to Thomas
Jefferson University) to:
University
Archives & Special Collections
Room 401, Scott Memorial Library
Thomas Jefferson University
1020 Walnut Street
Philadelphia, PA 19107-5587
Thank you for your
interest in the Thomas Jefferson University Archives and Special Collections.
